pathology

Simple fracture

• fracture in which the bone is shattered, splintered, or crushed into many fragments

• fracture in which there is no open skin wound

• fracture in which the bone has broken through the skin

•  fracture in which the vertebrae becomes compressed, usually manual laborers or women with osteoporosis

Compound fracture

• complete fracture that is straight across the bone at a right angle

• fracture in which there is no open skin wound

• fracture in which the fracture line spirals around the shaft of the bone, a twisting injury usually related to sports

• fracture in which the bone has broken through the skin

Comminuted fracture

•  fracture in which the bone is shattered, splintered, or crushed into many fragments

• fracture in which the fracture line spirals around the shaft of the bone, a twisting injury usually related to sports

• complete fracture that is straight across the bone at a right angle

•  fracture in which the bone has broken through the skin

Compression fracture

• fracture in which there is no open skin wound

•  fracture in which the fracture line spirals around the shaft of the bone, a twisting injury usually related to sports

• fracture in which the bone is shattered, splintered, or crushed into many fragments

• fracture in which the vertebrae becomes compressed, usually manual laborers or women with osteoporosis

Green stick fracture

• fracture in which there is no open skin wound

• complete fracture that is straight across the bone at a right angle

•  fracture in which the fracture line spirals around the shaft of the bone, a twisting injury usually related to sports

• an incomplete break. Fracture in which there is a bend on one side of the bone, and a break on the other, usually found in children

Oblique fracture

• fracture in which the bone has broken through the skin

• fracture at an angle

•  fracture in which there is no open skin wound

• complete fracture that is straight across the bone at a right angle

Spiral fracture

•  fracture in which the bone has broken through the skin

• fracture in which the fracture line spirals around the shaft of the bone, a twisting injury usually related to sports

• an incomplete break. Fracture in which there is a bend on one side of the bone, and a break on the other, usually found in children

•  fracture in which the vertebrae becomes compressed, usually manual laborers or women with osteoporosis

Transverse fraction

•  complete fracture that is straight across the bone at a right angle

• fracture in which the bone has broken through the skin

• fracture in which the vertebrae becomes compressed, usually manual laborers or women with osteoporosis

• fracture at an angle

Scoliosis

• lateral curuature of spine and its usually found in girls

• “hump back”, excessive curruature of thoracic vertebrae

•  “sway back” excessive curvature of lumbar verterbrae

Kyphosis

• lateral curuature of spine and its usually found in girls
